Next orange dementia grandpa will say democracy is a democratic hoax.
I mean, it’s right there in the name! Only Demon-crats support democracy! /s
I just want people to be honest and admit they made a mistake, take accountability, and work on fixing themselves.
I refuse to coddle these people who will not learn. You can’t keep hitting yourself in the head with a hammer and blame others.
Vote for a black woman? Hell no.
Has she even told Our Great President thank you?!
Has she tried not being a poor?
Maybe she shouldnt eat avocado toast every morning and start working
Bet she even has a cellphone.
And a refrigerator.
So she’ll vote Rep a 4th time because something something illegals, abortions, lgbtq…
or “im not one of those illegals, or [inser skin color, poc, or lgbtq+] people.”
Maybe the fifth time she’ll be able to buy food. Or the 6th
The saddest part here is that nobody on Lemmy is sympathizing with here.
One party is rounding up immigrants without due process and you want me to feel sympathy for their racist voters for getting their face eaten?
Three words are all it takes.
“I was wrong.”
I’m not about to sympathize with these idiots now that they’re suffering just to have them screw everything up AGAIN if we’re fortunate enough to somehow claw out of this mess with SOMETHING like a civil society left. We didn’t get burned hard enough by that when these idiots all voted AGAIN for him in 2024? Having learned nothing?
She’s not a pitiable victim - she’s a dormant cancer waiting to ruin us again, and continues to be until she sufficiently convinces me otherwise. I don’t enjoy watching other people suffer, but she’s a threat… one of the millions of tiny knives that are tearing open the bleeding wound of the US. Her suffering doesn’t change that.
You very nicely said my reasons for not being overly concerned with their suffering. I know they’ll do it again in a heartbeat without realizing they’re the one’s causing the pain.
I’d rather feel bad for people who have to deal with this shit who didn’t vote for the fat pedo
These are mostly just ordinary working people who voted for him, not traitor lunatics.
You mean dumbasses?
dumbass *traitors
They also had ten years to figure it out…
They are voting according to their material interests. What is there to figure out?
Voting for rich guy will make me rich?? This is a myth. Rich ppl don’t get rich by giving money to others.
Well the explanation would work for one election, 2024.
In 2016, he was a terrible choice on so many fronts, but no especially strong reason to expect he would dramatically shift inflation or pay. And on those specific metrics, his first term was mostly typical, except pandemic, which people can believe to be an utterly freak event beyond anyone’s control if they still wanted to vote for Trump.
The global economic shock continued and was exasperated by war. Biden had little to do with it, but it was on his watch, so he gets saddled with blame, so to the extent a voter just thinks about their personal economic situation, they vote for “not the current leadership”.
So this term has been marked by utterly predictable economic problems that everyone told them would happen, but they didn’t have first hand experience to trust that, and Trump’s rhetoric resonated with the “I know smart people say it doesn’t work, but ‘common sense’ tells me get rid of immigrants and tariff all imports and things will be great, making American jobs and getting rid of foreigners taking the jobs”.
So now they get to see first hand why those common sense thoughts don’t actually work.
Still. I predict next year they’ll roll back tariffs to try to create a bit of deflation and also cut checks to everyone to make them feel like winners in the moment as they decide midterms.
They voted directly against their material interests, as is evidenced by every single post in this com.
And that info wasn’t hidden, as the entire campaign was policy that would obviously raise costs,
People warned them and they ignored it, since the warnings came from the side of the lady with the weird laugh who the gays and trans voted for. It’s unfortunate for them, but I’m not going to shed a tear for people who have helped orchestrate their own demise against all warnings.
In what way exactly are they voting in their best interests, he ran three times on racism
And that’s how you keep losing in politics
I understand not sympathizing with someone who has been diligently groomed, because we only see the resulting behavior, we don’t see the slow process of seduction. In her case, she was likely groomed by The Algorithm, which the current administration likely paid for.
We should all have solidarity with ordinary working class people who can’t make ends meet. Lots of them voted for Trump not because they’re right wing racist/sexist lunatics, but because the Democrats are that bad.
I’m not saying that we should let fake leftists off the hook for refusing to vote against Republicans in swing states, but we need to acknowledge that people understand their material interests and vote accordingly.
They vote for their material interests in the same sense that a man walking at night with sunglasses picks the best path. He thinks it’s obvious but he really needs to take the sunglasses off and maybe get a flashlight. He’s walking a stupid path and will probably fall into a ditch.
Fox News is probably the sunglasses in this metaphor.
Okay but fuck the Lincoln project.
Republicans who supported the modern conservative movement for decades pretending they are part of the resistance, who’ll supported practically all the same shit, just under a more neoliberal/neoconservative hat.
Thank you! Far too many people fail to realize these people when MAGA is gone will still be reprehensible Republicans. They supported and worked for W Bush after all. They’re not our friends and I’d just be as happy to see both put into a pit with one spork. Then whoever survives gets eaten by lions.
And they apparently are willing to give blue check money to Nazis.
She should just choose not to be poor
or she can try not being poor, like trump said.
She’s just a liar. Mr President Trump The GREATESTEST has said that economy is A+++++ so she’s lying. She must be a democRAT, I mean, have you seen her color? She’s clearly not a republican, she’s not white enough.
Someone is having the day they’re voted for. How delightful.
Except we all sufer
To be fair, even if the Democrats get power back, it’s never going to get better. The system is designed only to get worse. We have to tear down everything and start from scratch for anything to get better.
the gop made sure the recent legislation is worst when the dems get back in power, rinse and repeat. republicans have to be continiously be in power while thier legislation is still in effect so they can finally get the blame they deserve,.
Can you reword that in English?
My reading: new legislation that will kick the voter in the metaphorical balls will go into effect after the next election, when presumedly the Democrats will be in charge. Voters will be kicked in the balls and blame the party in charge for their pain. This is despite the Republicans being the ones who passed the ball-kicking legislation.
Edit: and the only way the Republicans will be blamed is if they are still in power when the ball kicking occurs.
Thank you. Yeah, legislation like that can be easily be stopped. Proof: Trump’s already done it, i.e. the inflation reduction act. Just undo it and call it what it is, an unjust act on the citizens, by an illegitimate administration.
She should also make sure she’s wearing jeans.
Oh look, an image of a social media post that refers to actual journalism.
